Oh, really Mr. "Strawman"? Well, maybe YOU can offer an explanation as to how the current Canuck government rose to power in the first place? The truth DOES hurt doesn't it?

Same as the Clintoon's. Eight years of Bubba and you criticize Canada? You would think that there would be support among American Conservatives for their counterparts up north...

The current government rose to power by a PM retiring and a new PM being put in place by the current party thatholds the balance of seats in the House of Commons. The current government is part of the federal Liberal party of Canada - it is a centre right type of party that has reduced taxes and eliminiated a very dangerous deficit but unfortunately it does lean centre left on occassion such as the insane gun registry etc.

The liberal party became the government many years ago mainly due to the population being pi$$ed off at the serious out of control deficits being run by the conservative party, the scandals of the then conservative government and the split in the federal conservatives of Canada. It was a sad time for people like me and it stayed that way for a long time with the conservative vote split between two parties. Now the parties have united and we have a true shot at forming the government.

My point is not all Canadians are as left as you think and in fact a lot hold to the same principles as a lot of conservative Americans and thus, please stop the sterotyping.
